SASS was originally started by Mama/JudiBug with two senior Texas dudes (Sammy and Andy) and later added two young sisfurs (Shelly and Sierra). Sammy ran off to the Bridge in May of 2012 and Andy April 2013.

Our dear, sweet Mama/JudiBug passed in November of 2012, after a short battle with Pancreatic Cancer. TraciBug is now attempting to keep the blog going.

December was awful for TraciBug, but she made it. TraciBug is taking a Grief Share class at a nearby church and she says it is helping.

LaurynBug is on a roller coaster ride. Her emotions are up and down -- she is having a very difficult time. She is getting some grief counseling from Hospice. We ask that you pray and purrrayyyyy for her! She misses her Mimi very much.

KorinnaBug seems to be the only "normal" one ... however, there has been a change in her personality and actions .... so TraciBug is planning on having a sit down with her.

We cats are doing good! When we aren't sleeping we are tearing around the apartment like crazy ... with the exception of Andy, he likes to spend all of his time in his hide holes.

Sorry we don't have any updated pictures ... TraciBug's computer just died and she is having to use Mama/JudiBug's old computer .... there aren't any recent pictures on there.

I am glad the kitties are doing well, but I know how tough things must be for the humans. I am sending lots and lots of purrs your way. I hope that in time, the happy memories grow bigger than the sadness.

Take your time to grieve. We all face loss differently. You are on the right path getting help. I do not want to be discouraging, but it could take up to 18 months (according to my sister's grief counselor)

Please know there is no normal..... everyone grieves and heals in their own time and manner. But we are glad to hear you are taking advantage of the help that is available to you. Know we think about you and are sending purrs

Mario's mom here - we're so happy to hear the kitties are doing fine. You all have been through the passing of your mother - a very major loss. Grieving is a very individual thing with no wrong or right way. So just take your time and let it all flow out. Hugs dear girls. Give yourselves time - lots of time.

Hi Andy, Shelly ,Sierra, Traci, Lauryn, and Korinna!I am so glad to hear that the kitties are doing fine. Grief and mourning is known as "work"...so therefore, I find that you all are taking it in stride and that is all you can do. Much Love and Hugs,Mindy

It is good to hear from you... We understand how you all feel. We all MISS our beloved Judi Bug and we KNOW what it must be like fur all of you. Glad that you are finding some places to work through this difficult time.

We just wanted to say hi and send our hugs and purrs. It's been a rough last few months here too but all this too shall pass. Hugs from our mama too and if ya ever need a shoulder to lean on just drop her an email. She knows the pain of loosing mama too well.

Thank you for letting us know how you are doing. Grief must take its own time and you must let it. I am glad that you are getting help. I am glad that the kitties are doing OK and hope that Andy comes out of his hidey-holes soon. He is probably grieving, too.
